Curriculum can be referred to as the learning experiences which the school has organized for the individuals it has the responsibility. In a religiously pluralistic society like Nigeria, religious education has been recognized as an important tool for promoting religious tolerance, understanding, and respect. The curriculum for religious education is intended to cater for the following needs in the life of learners who are educated in a secular society: attention to the religious aspect of the culture, the religious-moral-emotional development, the structural-imprinted-evolutionary dialect, and religious life.The methods of the research were based on the critical potential of philosophy, existential, axiological, logical cultural, historical, comparative, normative and constructive in religion, culture, and education. Religious education is a programs to orient humans towards their own plane of upliftment, noble character, inner strength, and physical well-being
